Bodega Norton - Barrel Select Mendoza Malbec

With a rich history encompassing 125 years, Bodega Norton is one of the most recognized Argentinean wineries in the world. It is internationally distinguished for its focus on quality, innovation, and premium wines that convey a sense of place. Founded in 1895 as the first winery in Mendoza by English engineer Edmund James Palmer Norton, Bodega Norton was purchased in 1989 by Gernot Langes-Swarovski of the Austrian crystal dynasty. Today the business is run by his son Michael Halstrick and the winemaking team is led by David Bonomi, considered one of the best winemakers in South America.

Bodega Norton has five vineyards spread over the main terroirs of the province of Mendoza in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, all of them within a privileged zone known as the First Zone for the quality of its grapes. While the location of the vineyards influences the quality of the wines, it is also important to note the age of the vines: their average age is around 30 years but Bodegas Norton also have a large number of hectares planted with 80-year old vines.
